Zuraida was the last person to see her dad alive. The last person to speak to him. She was also the last person to comfort him. She was 13 years old.
This traumatic event affected her deeply, leading to feelings of abandonment and a tendency towards hyper-independence.
Zuraida discusses how her grief impacted her career and influenced her parenting style. She speaks freely about the importance of open communication and emotional expression with her children, contrasting it with her own upbringing, which was characterized by silence.
Zuraida Jardine is a beloved South African media personality and over the course of her career, has had an audience with the likes of Beyoncé, Will Smith, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Ryan Gosling, Shaquille O'Neal, and many more.
But enrolling in university at the age of 40 and breaking the generational cycle is what she is most proud of.
Zuraida holds three degrees and numerous certifications to her name, and she continues to pursue higher education.
This story highlights themes of resilience, the impact of trauma on personal growth, and the transformative power of sharing one's story.
